    Who are the most risk-averse fighters in your opinion?

    I can think of Hopkins, Floyd and Wlad

      Floyd might have a lot of options to pick from, but he has certainly picked plenty of hard fights that he didn't have to take.

      He could have spent his career holding a title and wait until the twilight of his career to fight anybody meaningful or collect more belts.... sounds familiar.

        Calzaghe, Valuev,D.Hopkins are the names that most fans would recognize that fight nobody often.

          I think he's talking about their style of fighting. How they try not to take any damage in the ring.

            I think that he meant their fighting style as opposed to their choice of opponents. But maybe not...

                Ah.

                Oh... In terms of styles.
                Along with Floyd, Wlad, Hopkins add Spinks and Zahir Raheem

                  I dont know how floyd and hopkins could be in your list!!!

                  Floyd fought DLH and Hatton both fights most haters were saying he would lose!!! And Hopkins just fought Calzaghe who is thought of as the best SMW!!!

                    Not to mention he was 43 when he chose to fight Calzaghe, and at 42 fought Winky Wright, 41 Antonio Tarver and at 40 Jermain Taylor.

                    Now if the thread created means STYLEWISE, then yeah, he doesn't take too many risks INSIDE of the ring.
